Summary: Right now, this simply avoids trying to create a server instance if one appears to be already running. In a future change, we may decide to kill the existing instance and replace it with a new one. But, in this case, running this as is will be useful as it will provide the connection URL with the auth token. Also remove flipper server dependency from finding installation. In this case, we don't need it and can use `os.getPlatform()` instead. Reviewed By: antonk52 Differential Revision: D46144843 fbshipit-source-id: 2922843b916d37e0126e43ae65a622f87a6920ec
Flipper Desktop
This folder contains everything to run the Flipper 'Desktop', that is, the UI which you use to interact with the device / app under debug.
Packages provided here:
- flipper-common: utilities & types shared between client, server, flipper-plugin
- flipper-server-core: all device & client management goes in here. Basically flipper's backend
- flipper-ui-core: all UI goes in here, as far as it doesn't depend on Electron
- flipper-ui-electron: the Electron app, will load server-core and ui-core, and glue them together, providing implementations for some electron * specific stuff like dialgos
- flipper-server: A node process hosting flipper-server-core, that can be connected to over websockets. And probably can serve a browser version of the UI as well.
- flipper-ui-browser: thin wrapper around flipper-ui-core, providing some browser specific behavior / stubs.
- flipper-dump: (might remove later), but want to hack a quick and dirt flipper dump in here, as alternative way to test flipper-server-core.
- flipper-plugin: The flipper SDK used by plugins. Exposes all API's that can be used by plugins
- pkg: CLI tool to manage building flipper plugins
- pkg-lib
- plugin-lib
- babel-transformer
- doctor
- eslint-plugin-flipper
